Stephanie L. Stewart

I made an error with my IOLTA account and had an appointment with her the same day my 14 day letter arrived. Stephanie was calm and reassuring from the outset. She answers her own phone and responds promptly to emails meaning I was not waiting days for a response. Her retainer was reasonable and... she would point out where I could save on legal fees. Most importantly she got the file closed before it passed the intake stage. I would recommend any attorney who is dealing with the ARDC to talk to Stephanie.

Stephanie is an outstanding lawyer. She is a consummate professional, who is exceptionally knowledgeable about the ARDC's rules and its proceedings. Stephanie skillfully handled my matter and brought it to a satisfactory resolution in a very efficient and cost effective way. I highly recommend her... in the areas of ethics and professional responsibility.

Stephanie Stewart-Page did a remarkable job for me with my application for admission to the Illinois Bar. I had a very difficult case in front of the full character & fitness hearing panel and she led me to a fantastic unanimous decision in favor of my admission. Stephanie has tremendous knowledge ...of the entire process and lots of experience with these types of proceedings. She recognized the pertinent issues and implemented the best possible strategy. Throughout the entire process, she was always open to suggestions and her level of responsiveness was top-notch. On a personal level, I felt like she advocated for me as if I were a family member. That's how much my case seemed to matter to her. I could go on and on with all the positives but I fear I would run out of room. The bottom line is that I highly recommend Stephanie Stewart-Page to anyone who is confronting a character & fitness issue and/or navigating their application for admission with the Illinois Bar.

I had been practicing law for thirty years without ever running afoul of the ARDC. Then it happened. It is a process that most attorneys know little about unless they practice in the area. It is a formidable experience because it involves the possibility of losing all you have worked for your entire ...career and even worse your professional and personal reputation. I hired Stephanie, and she is without a doubt one of the tops in this area of law. She knows how the ARDC process works, knows what to expect and advises you accordingly when you are making some very difficult decisions during the course of the proceedings. In addition to that she is compassionate and understands what you are going through on the personal side of it.

I retained Stephanie to assist me in appearing before the Committee on Character and Fitness. To be candid, I was quite worried about my bar admission. I knew it would be a close call. Stephanie was familiar with the process, is an expert in all areas of professional responsibility law, and provi...ded unparalleled assistance in preparing me for my meeting. These traits became even more apparent during my meeting. She assisted in clarifying any ambiguities in my favor and left the member of the committee with a very favorable opinion of me. Further, the member we met with was familiar with Stephanie's superior reputation. This all lead to a favorable outcome.
